And, by the way, they talk about this Great Recession as if it fell out of the sky, like, "Oh, my goodness, where did it come from?" It came from this man voting to put two wars on a credit card, to at the same time put a prescription drug benefit on the credit card, a trillion-dollar tax cut for the very wealthy. I was there. I voted against them. I said, no, we can't afford that.

And now, all of a sudden, these guys are so seized with the concern about the debt that they created.

--------

Great Recession + where did it come from? + this man voting to put two wars, prescription drug benefit , a trillion-dollar tax on the credit card + Biden saying he voted against putting them on the credit card = Biden lied about voting for the wars (which he did but as he said he voted against putting them on the credit card)

See that was easy
